⛔ NIH ended ALL of my grants mid-project, given LGBTQ health focus 🏳️‍🌈 ⚖️ So what am I doing? Suing RFK, Jr. As one team member shared in this story👇: "The threats to our work don’t just make me fear for my career — they make me fear for my safety.“ #SaveDemocracy #SupportScience #PublicHealth

So how do acknowledgements work now? “This work was supported by US NSF grant #, until they belatedly discovered the work no longer effectuated NSF’s goals and demanded that everyone involved stop getting pay and other support.” Or is their past support a shameful secret for them they’d rather hide?

This whole thread really explains why I've enjoyed Nick Harkaway's books so much, very genre transcending for me, and some of those moments reading his work had a real impact on the way I think about MY work as a psychologist studying workplaces & identities & threat & change

Love opening a chapter of my book, looking at a paragraph, trying to shove all of human psychology into it, closing the chapter and screaming

So very glad to hear this, but I want to emphasize that this does not undo the harm that has been done in fear, stress, monetary costs, lost opportunities, breaks in research, damage to reputations, fractured networks.

Interviewing people for my book and I have to say that software devs are way more willing to talk to me than psychological scientists 😅 Software folks caring about my work have changed my life and the life of my family. I will never forget it.

New, from @pamherd.bsky.social & I: An emerging conventional wisdom is that universities should abandon federal dollars since it gives Trump a means to strong-arm them. But breaking the federal-university research partnership would have high societal costs. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/are-univer...

President Donald Trump’s administration appears to be killing much, if not all, of a historic initiative that was the first, and is still the largest, National Institutes of Health effort centered on the health needs of women. scim.ag/4jLeLTJ

What research study do you wish I'd do? 😌

I'm disappointed to share that my NSF career grant on anti-Asian dehumanization was terminated. This affects ongoing project activities, which have shown great progress so far, and support for my research team and more. I'm sad to share that the hiring of the postdoc role is currently on pause.

Glad to see all this discussion of community education. Just a reminder that I’ve made all of my course material — 40 classes, from methods to maps, knowledge infrastructures to local media, digital ethnography to digital urbanism — freely available for 20+ years :)

Through the lens of my life in Technical Spaces, this entire article smacks of truth. Give it a read if you're invested in making Tech less dehumanizing.

I've been making a series of videos called "What the FUNDING" that highlight all the incredible science that federal funding supports. If DOGE just fcked up your NSF grant and you wanna collaborate on a video, lmk? I'm @science_irl on insta & TT #scicomm 🧪 #nsf

My NSF CS for All grant was just terminated (www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/...). Nationwide, we were: • Improving the quantity + quality of K-12 CS teachers • Ensuring the sustainability of K-12 CS teacher prep programs • Ensuring all youth in the U.S. have access to great CS teachers

I’m so angry & heart broken. My NSF CAREER grant was stolen today; dream project supporting science teachers/students as climate justice action researchers, tackling urban heat. Truly transformative, the culmination of my life’s work, we won’t stop, not in this climate crisis. Gonna fight like hell!
